If you want to make flax into flax silk, the most critical step to extract the fibers inside is retting. There are roughly two methods. One is to directly put the linen outside to dry and wait for the rain to soak and wash it into silk. The disadvantage is that the color is not correct and not clean; the other is to soak it in warm water. This method is faster and cleaner, but the disadvantage is that it is too troublesome.
What Li Feng wants to do is to use natural rain and dew to retose hemp. Although it will take a little longer, about a week or two, it doesn't matter, summer is still very long. As for the other warm water retting, he simply ignored it. There was no place to cook it. Although they could peel off the hemp stems first, they would definitely not be able to do it without the appropriate tools and keeping the water at a similar temperature.
Retting actually involves removing the gelatin from the hemp stems so that the flax silk can be extracted.
Since the flax has been cut on the first day, the rest is the luck of the next day, but there is no need to rush, just take your time. When I got home that night, it was already dark. The baby was sleeping sweetly, and he held Li Feng with his other hand. Li Feng covered the baby with the thin animal skin that he brought with him, so as not to let the baby freeze.
Luo and Bu were also walking hand in hand, leaving Ka alone and holding his two younger brothers with both hands. As for Mo and Lu, it was more tragic. No one was holding the other and caring for themselves Zi Di ran around behind them. After a day's work, he was still very energetic.
When he got home in the evening, Li Feng decided to make a sumptuous meal to reward the old and young in the family who had been tired for a day. Although the weather was slightly dark, this did not prevent him from cooking. The weather is hot and I need to eat something to clear away the heat and relieve the heat. I still have a lot of ducks that I caught before. Li Feng decided to make old duck pot. In summer, I eat something that is just right to clear away the heat and relieve the heat.
Of course, the male ducks were also killed. These male ducks were kept for food. Now they have a lot of ducks at home, and the ducklings have grown up and can lay eggs. However, the old ducks from before were stewed, especially They are male ducks. Not only do they not lay eggs, but their calls are also unpleasant. Fortunately, they are kept far away, otherwise they would not be able to sleep at night. No wonder people say that male ducks have a very 'shocking' voice!
Of course, Li Lai was the one to kill ducks, so Li Feng made other dishes first. Cold dishes are essential in summer. Although there are not many ingredients and seasonings, they can barely be used. The raw materials at home are Li Feng. The wind has turned, and I decided to make three cold dishes and cook a duck, and then eat steamed buns and noodle soup. I don’t need to eat so greasy and don’t eat too much at night.
The edamame now looks like it has just grown out of the pods. Anyway, it is easy to plant it next to the backyard and pick it. It is convenient and simple to make salted edamame. You can just peel it and eat it when the time comes. The other one is mixed fragrant soybeans. This one uses mature soybeans. Anyway, there is still a little at home, which is not enough for him to do experiments, but it is still enough to eat. The last one is cold spinach puree. In fact, this cannot be said to be spinach. It just looks a bit like spinach, but it grows in summer. Li Feng has eaten it for rabbits and ducks, and it's fine. He also tasted a little bit and thought it tasted okay. It should be an edible vegetable. I don’t know what it is anyway, so I just call it spinach.
Whenever Li Feng finds something that is edible and can be grown, he usually brings it back and clears the land to plant it. This is not only convenient but also grows better without having to compete with other weeds for nutrients. You must know that Li Feng and the others The family is very good at weeding and catching insects. The insects are all eaten by the pheasants they feed to the family. The pheasants have their wings cut off and cannot fly away, so Li Feng keeps them. Now there are quite a few of them, little one. Two batches of chickens have been born, and now each one is fattened by Li Feng. The roosters are kept to eat, and the hens are kept to lay eggs like the ducks, but the males will still keep one or two after all. Do we still want them to continue hatching chicks and ducks
Go to the backyard and pick all the vegetables to be cooked. Wash the edamame beans and put them in a clay pot aside. Add salt and aniseed to cook. Once cooked, you can eat them directly. Mixing the soybeans requires a little more trouble. A little bit, but not much different. It also needs to be washed and cooked in a pot. The soybeans should be cooked for about ten minutes. If you see that they are almost cooked, you can turn to low heat and add salt, soy sauce, aniseed, etc. and continue to simmer. Li Feng was busy alone but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. While cooking the soybeans, the spinach had been blanched in boiling water, then squeezed out of the water and chopped into pieces. The chopped spinach also had to be squeezed out again. This way there won't be too much water coming out when mixing and spoiling the taste. This spinach needs to be mixed with shrimps. The shrimps are also fished by Li Feng and his children in the river when they have nothing to do, and then they are dried by themselves. They are all pure shrimps in the river. Set aside to soak.
The three dishes all take about the same amount of time, and Li is still busy here and has already taken care of the old duck. This old duck needs to be stewed for a long time, but it doesn't matter. It can be eaten as a midnight snack at most, and it is estimated that they will wait until they finish it. After eating the cold dishes, it will take a while to digest and then you can eat them.
After all the cold vegetables were taken out, it was time to add various seasonings, such as oil, salt, onion, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. Speaking of soy sauce, Li Feng thought of making it out of boredom. He didn't expect it at first. But one day when he wanted to eat cold dishes, he realized that there was nothing in soy sauce or vinegar. He couldn't make vinegar, but he could make soy sauce. The main thing was to ferment the cooked beans and then expose them to the sun. This season is perfect. , aren’t there advertisements on TV all day long? It takes a full 180 days to expose the delicious food. Of course, Li Feng will not expose it for that long, and it is also his first time to do it. It must be much different and the time is short. , who made him want to eat it. Although there is a difference in color and taste, at least it can be considered soy sauce instead of soy sauce. It will finally have another main seasoning in the future.
Although the cold dish made without vinegar, wine and sesame oil must have some flaws in the taste, compared to the tasteless dishes made by others, it is not a bit more delicious.
Three large portions of cold dishes were eaten by several people, and there was even a feeling that they were still unsatisfied. Only Li Feng didn't have much appetite. He didn't dare to eat more of these things. It would be bad for the children. He was waiting for his old age. As for the duck pot, there is always a large piece of wood burning underneath, and it is left there to stew.
The baby had been sleeping while they were eating before. Today, the baby was rolling around and playing outside. He didn't sleep for long, but he slept a little longer this time. Just when Li Feng was thinking about waking up the baby to eat something, the baby woke up. At this time, Li Ye came in with a crispy and fragrant stewed duck. The baby who had just woken up was still In a dazed state, he instinctively went to Li Feng to hug him. Li Feng held him in his arms and kissed him. The baby's little hands grabbed Li Feng's hair and pulled it. I don't know if it was because he smelled the duck. The scent made me wrinkle my little nose before I even opened my eyes, like a puppy sniffing.
Li Feng saw the baby like this and kissed the tip of his little nose. "Baby, are you hungry? You smell something delicious? Why did you catch it by such a coincidence? You woke up as soon as it was served. Could it be? Are you waiting to eat this?"
Naturally, the baby didn't understand, but the little mouth called him "Daddy, Daddy..." very affectionately. I don't know whether he woke up and was sleepy or was looking for his father in confusion.
The old duck has been stewed in the pot for almost three hours. Although the time is still short, they can't wait any longer. Anyway, they are already cooked and the aroma has already been smelled. They can't help it anymore. Li Feng doesn't care anymore. Just make it shorter. When making duck, Li Feng put some shiitake mushrooms and other mushrooms as well as bacon in the duck's belly. It's a pity that there are no dried bamboo shoots and ham, otherwise it would be more delicious, and the time is a bit short, but it doesn't matter next time. When you have nothing to do, just stew it from morning to evening.
The old duck naturally tastes good. Now that the baby has a few teeth, he can eat some simple things. He can't chew duck meat yet, so Li Feng can only feed him some shiitake mushrooms and stewed crispy mushrooms. Mushrooms and meat were not considered at all, and the soup was served to the baby before salt was added. However, although the baby also likes to eat these mushrooms, when he saw the duck meat, he wanted to grab it. Maybe he also wanted to eat duck meat, after all, the people next to him had already torn a duck apart. It was torn apart, and soon there was a pile of bones on the table. Li also tore up a lot of the food for Li Feng. He ate it himself and fed it to Li Feng who was feeding the baby. The family of three felt very cozy.
The next day, Li Feng and the others set off again. Li Feng originally planned to let Li Feng stay at home to take care of the baby. Anyway, he wouldn't let him move there, so he might as well stay at home, but Li Feng thought about going and taking care of the baby. It was better for Mo and the others to pick up the flax seeds on the ground than to sit idle at home, so now the original team continues to set off.
In order to make retting more convenient, Li Feng decided to put all the flax in the yard of his house, and retting it naturally in the open space on one side. There was a lot of flax, and Li and the others were strong enough to move a lot at one time, but even so, they had to run back and forth all day. It took many trips to move them home, and several of them were exhausted. Watching them running back and forth, Li Feng could only dream about all kinds of cars, but now he can't even make the most basic car, not even rolling wood, because he doesn't have the tools to cut down the tree, let alone polish it into such a round shape that it can be rolled. The wooden rolling can only be made with the most primitive manpower. Li Feng clenched his fists. Fortunately, he didn't have to run so far in the future, so he planted them nearby. He also had to go to the nearby mountains to look for iron ore, so that he could forge various tools. As long as he had the tools, everything would be fine. All difficulties will be solved. Now that there is a child in his belly, Li will definitely not let him look for it. He can only wait until after the child is born. Then he and Li and the others will go to look for it nearby. This is a good thing that benefits the entire human race!
It takes at least one to two weeks for flax to be soaked in rain and dew. Even if there is no rain, the dew in the morning, evening and night, as well as sunlight, will cause them to ferment and decompose the gum in them. After Li Feng and the others transported all the flax home, they placed it directly on the empty hillside in the yard. They would wait until it was ready for retting, but in the meantime they had to figure out how to draw and spin the flax.
Li, Bu and Ka have been curious since they asked Li Feng to command the flax back. They are waiting to make the kind of soft, comfortable and breathable clothes that Li Feng said. Due to the limitations of their thinking, they cannot imagine that these clothes have been made. What kind of things would be made from some rotten plants, so they watched Li Feng busy and asked questions every day. If Li Feng hadn't stared at them, they might have followed him.
Originally, the baby liked to play under the willow tree in the yard, where Li Feng sat on a swing. He tied a simple rope between the two trees and wore a basket in the middle that had grown long and looked like a small sofa. , very strong. When Li Feng has nothing to do, he will sit on it and gently swing with his baby in his arms. The baby's favorite is this cradle swing that can rock.
Every time it shakes, the baby will giggle non-stop, as happy as if he has seen the funniest thing. He also likes to hold on to the edge of the basket or the rope and shake it vigorously back and forth, even though Li Feng is sitting on it. It didn't move at all, but this didn't affect the baby's interest at all. I grabbed the rope and watched him move around in my hands. His smile was so toothless that his pink gums could be clearly seen.
But since I started retting, my baby doesn't like to come here. Although he also likes and wants to play on the swing, this flax smells bad and it doesn't look good. The baby likes those colorful ones that are comfortable and nice to look at. Especially when playing on the swing, those soft and slender willow branches sway in the wind. The baby always stares at those willow branches that are danced by the wind, and claps his little hands and laughs while watching. However, you don’t want to see these soaked flax babies at all. When Li Feng brought him over to play on the swing, the baby cried loudly and refused to come. Li Feng couldn’t figure it out. You said you were still breastfeeding? Why is the doll so awkward? In fact, the flax is still some distance away from the swing.
I have no choice but to take him to other places to play, but this swing will not be idle. Others usually queue up to play. Now this swing is very popular in the tribe, and parents who have nothing to do will give it to their children. If we make one like this, we can sit and play when we have nothing to do. It feels very good.
Time passed quickly, two weeks passed quickly. During this period, it also rained, which made Li Feng very happy. This way, the flax retting would be faster. Li Feng would check it every day. How far has it gone? Now it’s finally healed. However, Li Feng didn't think of any way to weave during the two weeks. He was so worried that he pulled his hair all day long. He was so scared that Li held his hand and wouldn't let go every day. In the past, it was the baby who was pulling, but now Li Feng started to pull it by himself, so his hair must not fall out
But there is no need to worry about taking one step at a time and slowly exploring. Anyway, flax is already available, and the rest is all kinds of experiments. Huang Daopo thousands of years ago was able to modify textile machines and invent various weaving methods. I think How can people who are thousands of years later still be desperate? Although they are not as powerful as Huang Daopo, we can at least weave a piece of cloth!
It's not enough to be ambitious and ambitious. What you need to do now is to deal with the soaked hemp first. Of course, Li Feng will direct them to do it. This is also relatively simple. Just use your hands to put the soaked hemp stems into the pot. The other wood is crushed, then the xylem and impurities are removed, the fibers are combed, and then divided according to quality. This is done. The thin and flexible fibers combed out are sorted and dried in the sun, and bundled into bundles like wire bundles.
Li and the others were really messed up in the wind when they saw the beautiful and slender flax silk extracted from these rotten and ugly plants. This was so amazing! Now they are even more curious about the cloth that Li Feng said can be woven. They wonder what kind of miracle Li Feng will create
In fact, Li Feng has no clue at all. He really doesn't know how to weave cloth. He's not a weaver. How can he know this? But now he regrets that he didn't learn anything. Even if he is a weaver, it doesn't matter. , even if you are not a weaver or a transvestite, you might be able to knit a sweater or something. Can it be used as a reference
Li Feng was sitting on the swing with his baby in his arms and was worried. Who knew that at this time, he only felt that the baby in his belly seemed to move. Li Feng stood up in surprise. When Li saw it from the side, he quickly ran over and looked at Li Feng. The expression on Feng's face was one of surprise and joy. He didn't know what happened. "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Li Feng didn't know how to describe his feelings now. In the past few months, although he knew there was a baby in his belly, he could feel it a little, but this time it was the most obvious and powerful. The baby was almost there. It's about four months old. "The baby... the baby... moved?" Li Feng stuttered a little. Suddenly he felt that his heartbeat was synchronized with the baby in his belly. He could feel the baby's living presence. That kind of throbbing really cannot be described in words.
The author has something to say: The temperature dropped sharply yesterday, and I have been staying up very late lately. I have caught a disease in the basket. I have a dry and itchy throat and a cough. It feels so uncomfortable... ... ... ... _
